basic-authentication and php?

[Michael Shadle]

location /foo {
  auth_basic ..
  auth_bsic_user_file ...
  location ~ \.php {
  }
}

is how i've done it. you have to nest the php again inside of it, but
otherwise treat it no differently.

igor - you should make some sort of syntax for a globally effective
location or something - one that takes effect *always* within a server
block, at the end.

this would help for parsing PHP *always* if there is a .php file,
*always* include the expires headers, etc. right now, i've had to wind
up nesting those type of things inside of blocks where auth is
required for example (like above) - that would make location blocks to
me a lot easier to deal with.

essentially it would deal with all the location blocks and then apply
these "global" ones -after- it's done with the others...
